We are particularly interested in publications that target researchers, students and professionals in The Netherlands and Flanders.

InPlanning publications include:

Study books
InPlanning is dedicated to ensuring high-quality education on spatial planning in the Dutch and Flemish planning schools. To this end, we publish high-end textbooks on (Dutch) spatial planning theory and practice used in the education programmes of the Dutch planning schools.

PhD series
InPlanning is the premium publisher for PhD students at Dutch planning schools who aim to publish their PhD dissertation as a book. Most PhD dissertations are published in an open access format. The InPlanning platform offers the possibility of a digital publication in full colour, combined with a limited number of hardcopies. See below for more information on layouting options and costs.

Special issues
On an irregular basis the InPlanning platform publishes special issues, essay series or conference proceedings dedicated to current debates in (Dutch or Flemish) spatial planning. Special issues are peer-reviewed and coordinated by the editorial board.

Open access
InPlanning embraces the Open Access model as pursued by Dutch and Flemish research institutes. We also offer the possibility of charged publications for the lowest possible price, since we are not a commercial publisher but as foundation UPE still need to cover our expenses for hosting the website, responding to requests, making graphic formats for books, PhD theses and other special issues, and publishing items.

Multimedia
You are invited to make your book as attractive as possible, with plenty of space for images, photos, tables and schemes. Our e-books are also open for videos and animations. For example: you can present your book yourself in a video which could function as the preface of the book, allowing your audience to have the best possible idea about the author and his or her ideas and intentions.
